    Batali’s newsletter apology inexplicably features cinnamon roll recipe

    Celebrity chef Mario Batali addressed allegations of sexual assault and harassment in a tone-deaf newsletter that included a recipe for “pizza dough cinnamon rolls.”

    “I have made many mistakes and I am so very sorry … My behavior was wrong and there are no excuses. I take full responsibility,” Batali wrote.

    The chef went on to thank his fans and promised to “work every day to regain your respect and trust.”

    The clincher then came in the form of a postscript that read, “in case you’re searching for a holiday-inspired breakfast, these Pizza Dough Cinnamon Rolls are a fan favorite.”

    The apology, which included a link to the recipe on Batali’s web site, was met with shock and derision online.

    Allison Castellano tweeted, “I didn’t think it was possible for anyone to give a worse apology than Harvey Weinstein, but Mario Batali managed it.”
